Description

A deep, narrow cutting descends in steps toward a tomb entrance, with its sides of cut earth and loose soil on the edges. Several small vessels and a handled jug lie on the sloping floor of the cut, partly in shadow. A flat box or board is partly visible at the left edge, and no people are shown.
